Some day, over a few beers, it would be interesting to discuss differences in the hobby in UK vs basically most of the rest of the world. My view is the UK sector is quite different...I am not sure exactly why...more interest in kits, in Triang, in Eaglewall ( OK I get part of that ) and some what you might loosely call 'resistance' to more expensive/high quality models, particularly German. Just my view though and would be fun to talk about over a few pints.
